[scribus] Scripting a Contact Sheet

[Henry Hartley]

I would like a script that would take a directory full of images (JPG) and make a scribus document with four square images frames per page (or possibly 12). Each image frame would get one image, obviously and the image would need to be scaled to fit in the longer dimension and rotated based on their EXIF data. Finally, I'd like a text frame to be placed beneath each image with the image's file. I guess page numbers would be nice and perhaps a common header or footer but that's about it.

First, has anyone written such a script? If not, is there anything similar that I can take and modify? Python isn't really my thing although I can stumble through if I have something to start with.
